Today I am delighted to share a paper about a new way to measure the cosmic web🕸️ arxiv.org/abs/2408.11056cmlamman.github.io/doc/multipletI… For astronomers, I'll unravel it here with a short thread... /n

These doodles are brilliant! Accessible and informative. Can we please have A Brief History Of Time in this format please 😁

the cartoon version of the link is going to a 404 for me, sadly. Would love to check it out!

Just a lay person who finds the paper describing clusters of galaxies as "small scale structures" just a tiny bit terrifying.

Love the comic version, lol Wish it didn’t have the medium gray stroke around all the text, though, as that makes it hard to read, especially on my phone. I have to zoom way in. vs the version in your OP, which I can easily read without zooming

We detect the alignment of galaxy multiplets: correlations between little groups of galaxies and the large-scale gravitational tidal field. We don't call them 'groups' in the paper because they're not necessarily virialized.
